Types of Mobility Scooters

Handicap scooters are advanced electric wheelchairs with longer travel capacity, better comfort, better speed, and freedom to drive on any terrain.  Below are the following types.

Travel Mobility Scooters

Travel mobility scooters are designed for people who need to travel and they have mobility restrictions. These are lightweight scooters with a seating capacity of one person. They can be folded and carried like a suitcase. A travel electric scooter can be as light as 15 kgs only. Plus, many models have tires to move them like travel suitcases.  Elderly people who are still very active in life can make great use of these scooters.

Three Wheel Power Scooters

Most of the power scooters are three-wheel scooters with one wheel at the front and two driving wheels in the rear.  These scooters mostly have one-person seating capacity, although there are three-wheel scooters with 2 seats. The battery and travel capacity change with the model.  Some of them have a basket in the front. This basket is useful for shopping or carrying things.  Three-wheel scooters are the most popular ones. Elderly people, differently-abled people, and visitors of the large malls or shopping centers, all use them.

Four-Wheel Power Scooters 

As the name suggests, these power scooters have four wheels. The driving wheels are in the rear as the rear wheels provide more strength.  A four-wheel scooter is relatively more stable than a three-wheel one. They can be used on all terrain and all types of pavements and footpaths.  Since the machine is large, the powering battery is also bigger. It takes more time to charge and can travel anywhere between 25-40 kilometers (actual distance depends on the model, battery specification, user’s weight, and terrain).

2-Person Power Scooter 

These power scooters have two seats, one for the driver and one for the rider.  These are heavier scooters with bigger batteries. Some models might also have canopies for sun and rain protection.

Full Sized Mobility Scooters 

These mobility vehicles are made for elderly or handicapped people with excessive weight. These are the strongest ones among mobility scooters with a large, comfortable seat, high-capacity battery, and longer travel distance. These are also the most costly scooters.  Our Pride Cobalt Delux 2.0 is one example of a full-sized handicap scooter.

How to select a mobility scooter for your needs

When buying an electric mobility scooter for yourself or your loved ones, consider these factors and you will make a good choice.

Scooter Size 

Size is important for portability and maneuverability. Small scooters are easily portable. Travel scooters can even be disassembled and carried like a suitcase. The size also determines if the scooter is fit for a person of a certain weight.

Travel Distance/Battery Capacity 

The battery size of the electric scooter decides how far the scooter can go on a single charge. Other factors affecting the travel distance are the user’s weight and terrain.  If you will be traveling a lot on your electric scooter, pick one with a bigger battery.

Terrain 

The terrain is the surface where you’ll drive. For example, do you want to use the scooter mainly indoors or outdoors or both? Indoors use is easy on the battery and one charge will last longer. Outdoor types like pavements, parks, etc, contribute to the power required to drive on those surfaces. The harder the surface, the more battery it will consume.

Scooter Speed 

Mostly, the electric mobility scooters have a speed of 4-6 miles per hour. Dubai allows these scooters on the pavements and footpaths only due to their speed.  Some models are fast. If speed is a deciding factor for you, please see the details of the model you are buying. It should mention the top speed of the scooter.

Portability 

Do you want to travel by car, train, or plane and keep your scooter with you? Buy a handicapped scooter that can be disassembled and carried easily.  There is a class of mobility scooters that are made specifically for traveling. These are mostly three-wheel scooters.

Comfort 

Comfort is always a primary factor for buying mobility solutions. The level of comfort changes from one model to another. Try the scooter with a test ride before you buy. This way, you can be sure that the scooter will be comfortable.  Another way is to rent the same model of the scooter for a few days and use it as if you’d use your new scooter. You will know the ins and outs of the scooter model you are going to buy. This way, you will always make the right choice.

Budget

Electric Mobility scooters can be costly. The starting price for a reasonable model is around AED 4,000.  If you want the mobility scooter for just a short time, consider renting the scooter.
